TRUE ECONOMY.
Senator Chapman and Senator Bar
ton made a raid on the extra clerks in
the Senate on Friday last. After a
long fight the unnecessary ones were
lopped off and thus a true spirit of re
form and economy lias been inaugura
ted. This will relieve our Legislature of
some of it3 "extras" that have been ob
jectionable to the tax payers of the
State. We are glad to see our senator
placing himself so strongly on the right
side. In fact even a democrat told us
that "Sam" was a mighty good Senator
and he has an able colleague in Mr
Barton.
Hon. Wra. Orton recently sent Pres
ident Grant a pass, allowing him the
free use of the wires of the "Western
Union Telegraph Company for private
messages. The pass was promptly re
turned by the President, with tho re
mark that he did not wish to be under
obligation to the company. Ex.
The opposition do not take notice of
this. If Grant had received a five dol
lar pup from some friend all the world
would have heard of it by this time.
When the M. P Train had a late un
pleasantness with the wind last week
the conductor was rather mad, ore
and cross, being bruised badly and half
frozen when they reached Bennett, one
of those sympathizing(?) fellows was
about pitying folks, with his hands in
his pockets, and wondering how it all
happened. At last he asked said con
ductor "Ilow'd you come to wreck the
train?" "Me wreck the train! If two
wh(itch)es, three lawyers, two doctors.
a preacher and a nigger would'nt wreck
a train in such a wind nothing could."
This was the list of his passengers,
Dr. Larsh to the contrary.
NEBRASKA COAL.
"We received several weeks ago a load
of Cass county coal, from J. Briden-
stine, of which we made mention at
the time, saying that we should give
further notice of it after trying its
burning properties.
The coal, we understand from Mr.
Bridenstine, is dug out only some five
or six feet from the surface, and where
the water from a spring reaches it, so
that it was thoroughly saturated with
water. We let it lay until it dried out

Mr. Teake takes the Spy and the oth
er editor makes a Brake for Washing
ton and thence we know not
where. He tells us before he leaves
that Mr. Peake is a "democrat of the
old school" as Peake is very young
(looks about 20) we should like to
know how long ago he began this dem
ocratic schooling.
The Civil Rights bill became a law
last week. Those of our Republican
friends who couldn't keep house with-
nnt it. will now be satisfied. Practi
cally, like the finance measures of last
year, very little change will take place
in consequence of this action of Con-
rrp:a and manv people will never

A fair opinion of its merits can
hardly be formed from burning this
coal, which found so near the surface
of course would be of an inferior qual
ity, but as Mr. Bridenstine assures us
he intends to keep on digging, and will
bring us another load when he gets in
a little deeper, we shall have an oppor
tunity to test it thoroughly and will re
port further. In the meantime we
wish him success, and trust that Cass
county before long will be burning coal
dug within her own limits.

JUSTICE. '.
The committee on expenditures in
the department of justice to whom was
referred the resolution of the House
adopted December 11th, 1874, directing
that committee "specially to inquire
into the expenses of the United States
Courts, with power to send for persons
or papers," have had said resolution
under consideration, and find, since the
admission of Nebraska into the Union ;
n 18G8, the expenses of the marshal's
office of that judicial district have
been as follows:
Fiscal year ending June 0, 1588 $25,028 74
Fiscal year ending June 30, I8n9 30.580 35
Fiscal year ending June 30. 180 28,411 11
Fiscal year ending June 3, 1871.... 31.669 70
Fiscal year ending June 30, 1872 59,670 20
Fiscal year ending June 30, 1873 42,998 71
Fiscal year ending June 30, J864 2,2J& 05
During this period the marshals for
that district have been Casper E. Yost,
who qualified May 8, 1867; Joseph T.
ioile, who qualified July 12, 18(y; and
William Daily, the present marshal.
who qualified July 8, 182.
Judge Dundy has been judge for the
district since its organization.
We take the above figures from the
Nebraska City Presn.
It will be seen that Mr. Daily ha3
reduced the expenses of the Marshal's
office this year, and the report.of the
committee is a complete vindication of
Judge Dundy. Try again, Sterling.
Dr. Larsh is hobbling round Lincoln
with a cane. He burned his hand se
verely on the night of the wreck, try
ing to heap coals of fire on Calhoun's
lead as they lay under the bench
waiting for McKee to pull their bur
dens off. He then froze himself to
death in trying to get nine wounded
folks to Bennett, where they could be
taken care of. It was an awful night
and the doctor really behaved admira
bly. The Herald must joke him a
little, though, on those coals, you
know.
"The 600,000 libel suit against the
Nebraska City Press has been decided
in favor zf the Press folks, that is
there -was no libel we suppose. They
are jubilant, and do give Mason some
rough rubs. Mr. Mason was the attor
ney for the Plaintiff, and the Press in
sinuates that he i not happy in con

Mrs. Harrington, wife of Major Har
rington, died at Tekama, Burt County,

rington was the kindest -And best of
landladies to the hungry and half froz

Omaha in those days. Did we live in
Tekama we should miss her kindly
face indeed.
In another column of this paper ap
pears acommunication from a citizen in
regard to our schools ; without express
ing any opinion on the views of the cit
izen the Herald would here state that
we have tried to keep this war out of
the papers as long as we could. So far
the two county papers published here
have got along without bringing up
some local matter of this kind and get
ting every one by the ears on the
strength of it. We cannot however keep
our people and our friends from using
our columns to resent insult and abuse
any longer, nor do we desire so to do,
The attacks of the Watchman have
been entirely uncalled for inasmuch as
no proper effort was made to correct
the abuse, if abuse there. was, before a
virulent and personal attack on the
principal was made in the public Press
Had there been we should have tak
en special pains to see that any and
all waste of time or any other reasona
ble complaint was properly attended to
and the wrong, if any, corrected.
The Watchman totally misappre
hends the scope and power of the press
and particularly of the power of his pa
per if he thinks ha can coerce this peo
ple to his views, by an abuse of all re
ligion or a personal tirade on the prin
cipal. Mr. Sturgis with wonderful for
bearance has thus far disdained to no
tice the bantam crowing at his heels,
and we should not notice him except to
satisfy many inquiries; as to his stric
tures on our grammar and logic, we
care little for them not considering
the Watchman man a good judge.
A correct and reasonable argument
on the right to hold any religious exer
cises in our schools would have met
with a square and manly answer, but
simply to reply to the stuff that the
Watchman calls argument and facts
i3 to waste our time and space. It is
not because we do not understand the
nature of the attack, nor because the
Professor "has no friends" that we have
not replied before, but simply because
the game is not worth the powder and
the Watchman is using a weapon that
will reeoil and do more damage at the
butt than the muzzle. There is no need
to waste more words, we thank our many
friends for their sympathy on this point
we arc glad to know we have so many
and that the cause of good education
and sound religion has found advocates,
but we must be the best judge of the
mode and time of reply.
"We appreciate your motives, friends,
and you can rest assured the Herald
will stand firm in the gap whenever
real danger threatens either the one or
the other. Fighting pop guns however
is not our forte. For these reasons we
prefer to close this debate with this is-
The position of the passengers in the
ate M. P. wreck was very peculiar, to
hear a late passenger describe it. "All
turned upside down in the top of the
car, one on top of 'tother and the d d
hot stove on top of all of us. It was
nearly I tell you?"
RAILROADS.
We see by the News that Otoe Coun
ty has at last put the proposition to
vote bends for the extension of the N.
W. R. R. (our Weeping Water road.)
We sincerely hope that no light matter
will prevent the Nebraska City people
from carrying this project so import
ant to the interests of the river coun
ties,, Brownville already looks up and
hopes, we see, for a consolidation or an
outlet athrough the Q. & M. P. R. 11.
and the building of this road (call it by
what name you like) will give a new
impetus to trade and business in all
eastern Nebraska. We all made a
grand mistake, as far as our immediate
pecuniary interests were concerned,
when we urged the building of roads
running directly west from the river
towns. It killed us and our only
chance now is for a north and south
trunk line. We venture to say that if
the road should stand a3 it is now
Brownville would feel the benefit so
much mora than either Nebraska City
or Plattsmouth that we would soon
open our eyes in astonishment, and
just because she will get the north and
south trade up and down the river.
WTe do not think the Capitol will be re
moved this winter, but it will be, soon,
and then an interior line of roads will
spring up, greatly to our detriment.
Before this happens we must secure
this trunk line. It is self preservation
for the east. No light obstacle nor
even expense should prevent us from
setting the road now, at once. Need
we say more.

Editor Plattsmoutu Herald:
Permit me to say a few words through
the columns of your paper, with refer
ence to a series of articles which have
recently appeared in the Plattsmouth
Watchman. No one has heretofore
spoken against them in print, why is
it? Does the community let them
aione for the same reason that the boy
left off pursuing the skunk?
Some have been heard to say, who
coincided with the Watchman, of
course "that the Prof, had no friends,1
and "that this is the cause of the si
lence." We wish to state that the Prof.
has friends and champions, too, if
need be and we think the majority of
the community endorse him. The
Council has wisely sustained him in
the matter of school discipline. Wheth
er ttey did this from a sense of right,
after mature deliberation or from pol
icy, it matters not.
But we wish to say most concerning
the attacks of the Watchman, on the
devotional exercises, and reading of
the scriptures in the school. We an
ticipate another articles this week, call
ing the Prof, all manner of names but
the Man tJiat he is. We would just
here suggest that less provocation
against less amiable persons, has caus
ed men and Editors to see out of only
one eye at a time--or if seeing out of
both, to be "looking both ways for Sun
day." '
We know well the religious teach
ing this voluble editor would endorse.
Of course he doe3 not endorse Mr,
Sturges' manner of opening the school
Mr. S. reads from the Bible, and not in
Latin, but in plain English and seeks
not to keep from the youth, the teach
ings of the Scriptures, nor does he pray
to any Holy .Virgins. He touches not
his own infallibility or that of any
other man. ''
It occurs to us that tho author of
those Watchman articles can differ
from the beast on which the Prophet
rode when it talked with him only in
one particular (i.e.) that the animal
wa3 in the right.
We protest against such articles, on
the ground that they are against mor
ality and good order, and in this re
spect should come under the police
regulation, and if the paper is taken by
more than half a dozen families they
engender disrespect and rebellion in
me minus ui me suuuut tmiuicii iu u
dition to that naturally therein.
We do not wish to . take issue with
the gentlemen, farther than tovstate
these facts, and hope he will have the
good sense to be the first to "let up" in
this matter. A CmzK.
Lincoln, Neb., (
Feb. 10th, 1875. f
The present phase of weather here
is a perfect snow storm. One can
hardly see the Capitol from the Tiche
nor. CAPITOL MOVING
is not so brisk as it was, as some one
expressed it, "one side is afraid and
the other dassen't." Judging from the
temper of the nouse, no bill can go
through now. In the meantime they'
are fussing and fuming over the Con
stitutional Convention bill, and there
are about as many plans for making a
a convention as there are for moving
the capitol, . and if they don't look
sharp it will fall through the same
way. Too many cooks spoil the broth,
and they are boiling the capitol and
convention broth after a good many
different receipts. The last plan is by
Spaun. It provides for 26 members
elected by the Legislature in joint bal.
ot. We think the people will prefer
to seleet their own delegates for that
purpose, and anticipate that the bot
tom will drop out of this, too.
THE SIMPLEST WAY
as well as the most economical, is to
elect 13 members, one for each Senato
rial district, and let 'em brindle. It is j
net perfect, it does not give an exact
representation of the population, but
it probably comes as near to it as any
other division of territory that could
be made now, and men to sit in a con
stitutional convention should repre
sent the interest of the whole State, no
matter where they live, they should be
of a grade of mind capable of rising to
this point. The fewer the men and
the shorter tho document, the more
ikely it is to carry, in our opinion.
pro and con.
"We can easily see in the future great
and paramount interests to the State,
to be subserved by the building up a
new capitol out on the prairie, one of
these days. No person believes more
n the svstem of settling up and devel
oping a region of country by this meth
od, than the writer of this article. We
should take great pride in seeing the
North Platte country opened up. and
in having a fine, handsome city grow
up, north and west in the State some
where, but just now we do not believe
it could be done. Bad as we hate tor
write it, the grasshopper scare has hurt
U3 east ; it has destroyed confidence in
our State, to some extent, as a place of
Investment for eastern surplus capital.
Now if we cannot get that capital to
come in and invest in our new town,
and we think it doubtful at the pres
ent time, why then we shall have to
turn in and build it ourselves, from
our own means and funds. That
would not enrich us, that would sim
ply change property from one portion
of the State to another, and in fact
take it from a portion that can ill af
ford to lose either men or money just
now.
THIS LEGISLATURE
we foar, will prove a very expensive
one in spite of the good looks of the
members and the great amount of re
form that was used in the election of
many.
It is our impression that while all
eyes are kept turned towards Senatorial,
CapitoI,and Constitution arguments
not work, innumerable small bills and
claims are being pushed through here
and there, and an amount of
special bills and legislation being en
acted that is perfectly appalling, and
that will bear a heavy crop of discon
tent and quarreling by aud by. Over
two hundred bills have been printed in
the House, we are informed, and very
few are of a general nature or for the
good of the State. Very many are
purely selfish, and bills are defeated or
passed to please the pride or gratify
the pique of sections, members or lob
byists, instead of for the general good.
THE PRESS.
have failed in their duty in this res
pect, especially the Omaha dailies, who
claim to lead the State. Their corres
pondents have strained at the big jobs
and tried to keep Bill Stout ori tenter
hooks, or made un-shrewd guesses on
Capitol location and such things, and
have npt watched and warned the peo
ple of the small jobs, expensive details
and petty legislation that is consuming
the time. They have not proved faith
ful critics aud good honest censors.
We do not mean by this a tirade of
abuse, but the press, if it is of any use.
can be of more use by a shrewd and
iair criticism and watchfulness than
by guessing at future problems of po
litical economy. If we are wrong in
these surmises we will beg pardon, if
we are right we have only given you a
kindly, but needed hint.
Boys of Cass, look out for these
things and give us a chance to be proud
of your record this winter.

PENCILLOGRAPII.
REV. CIIAS. MCKELVEY,
Chaplain of the Senate, is a gentleman
of 40 years and upwards, a native of
Canada and a resident of this State
since September, 1870, when he came
to Omaha as pastor of the M. E. Church
of that city. He was educated iu the
city of Toronto,Canada,and entered the
University of the New Connexion
Methodist in the year 1853. Three
years later his health failed .and for a
season he was compelled to retire from
the University, during which time he
pursued the study of medicine, with a
view to entering that profession. Af
ter five years of rest, however, his
health so far recovered that he felt it
a duty to again enter the University,
which he did, occupying the pulpits of
Toronto, Montreal, Gait and Hamilton
in accordance with the itinerant usa
ges of the church to which he belong
ed. Since his coming to Nebraska he has
been appointed to Omaha, Fremont,
Plattsmouth and. Brownville. Decid
ing to remove to California, he did not
accept the last appointment, but for
the time being remains among his
friends in Plattsmouth, where he is
universally esteemed and beloved.
Mr. McKelvey is nearly 6 feet in
height, well proportioned, sandy hair,
bald head, prominent features, and
quiet, gentlemanly demeanor; an im
pressive speaker, a laborious pastor and
a good man.
His pulpit efforts are marked with
an entire absence of mannerism or af
fected dignity he speaks straight for
ward so plain, that a fool can under
stand, and so kind a child would be
won by his gentle entreaty and over
flowing spirit of kindness.
In his social life he is full of quaint
good humor, not easily provoked, and
always a genial friend and companion.
With but limited means in youth, by
his own indomitable perseverance and
at the risk of health and life, he acquir
ed a good theological and medical edu
cation, and in his chosen profession fit
ted himself for eminent usefulness and
success.
We regret to know that his face is ir
revocably set towards the Golden State
and he proposes to leave Nebraska as
soon asJSpring shall open, by April next
if not before. We wish him, God Speed
and can only add, that what is loss to
Nebraska is a gain to California.-br-nal.
LOUISIANA.
The following Resolutions were of
fered on Friday last :
In the house the following preamble
and resolutions created considerable
commotion. It was presented by Mr.
Wright, of Pawnee:
"Whereas, It appears that in the or
ganization of the Legislature of Louis
iana a minority of the members of the
house of representatives holding cre
dentials to seats in said house, in a vio
lent and revolutionary manner pre
tended to elect a temporary speaker be
fore the completion of a roll of mem
bers, and to vacate the seats of certain
members holding certificates, and to
admit certain parties who contested
such seats preliminary to a regular or
ganization, and
Whereas, When their disorderly
proceedings were about to culminate
in riot and bloodshed, the pretended
speaker of the house aforesaid, called
in the aid of the United States mili
tary forces to preserve order, and
Whereas, The action of the com
manding officer of the federal troops in
insisting upon the retirement from the
house of all outsiders, and .all claiming
to be members, but not holding certifi
cates until a legal organization of the
said legislative body could be had, has
been made the pretext of an unwar
ranted and unjust assault upon Presi
dent Grant and General Sheridan, who
have, as in duty bound, assumed and
endorsed the action of General DeTro
briand by sundry state legislatures and
sundry members of congress, and a por
tion of the political partv, therefore be

Resolved, By the Senate and House
j of Representatives of the State of Ne
j braska. That we heartily endorse the
position of the President and the
i course of General Sheridan in assum
ing the responsibility of securing to the
Stare of Louisiana a republican form
of Government, by their prompt sup
pression of an attempted revolution.
Resolced, That a copy of this resolu
tion be sent to the President of the
United States, and to each of the pre
siding officers of the two houses of
congress.
Thurston favored the resolutions
and Church Howe opposed. It was
finally referred to the committee on fed

Ed. Journal: Although, during
the Legislature, Omaha is not, as usu
al the center of attraction, still the
scenes and incidents pass daily on, with
the Metropolitan variety. The journ
alistic prize ring is contested as hotly
as ever by the occupants, with perhaps
a little falling off of interest, on the
part of the spectators, owing to the
monotonous regularity of the sparring

Regularity Itriny VIeor.
Local irregularities produce weakness of the
entire system. In order, therefore, to re-establish
health and strength upon a sure basis,
these Irregularities must be permanently over
come. Many persons endeavor to reform them
by remedies which address themselves merely
to the symptoms without effecting the cause. If
such individuals were to use instead Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, they would speedily appreci
ate the difference between a medicine which
palliates, aud one which entirely removes phy
sical debility. That prime regulator of bodily
disturbances restores the derelict organs to an
uninterrupted aud heoltliy erfonnanceof their
various duties, whereby alone th system can
recover its lost tone ana vigor. Hostetter's Bit
ters are a tonic medicine, but they are a tonic
which regulates ere they strengthen the sys
tem. 45U.
